Medicine Description mucosolvan 15mg
Mucosolvan 15mg Syrup is a medication that primarily operates by enhancing mucociliary clearance in the respiratory tract. The active ingredient, ambroxol, acts by breaking down the mucous structure, which facilitates the expulsion of phlegm. It stimulates the secretion of serous mucus, making the sputum less viscous and easier to expel. Additionally, ambroxol has a local anesthetic effect on the respiratory tract and may enhance the production of surfactant, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of alveolar surfaces and promoting efficient gas exchange.
